Third, I don't mean to sound negative, I love what you're all doing but come one, this is a bit of a lukewarm after waiting for quite a bit. Just a single concept art and nothing more? :)


I second that.
Any more for any more?

If they gave us more, we'd then expect more each time. What happens when they just wanna cuddle? Well thats when you would just start looking elsewhere for more.

Hehehe, anyone notice the My Little Pony reference at the top? :)

It does look frikkin' awesome though, especially compared to, say, the Mechwarrior 4 Mercs model. Much more stocky and fearsome.


Stay thirsty my friend.

I never been a huge fan of the catapult, but I have to say, thats easily the best looking one I've ever seen.
Very nice work guys.

I really wished for the Victor to show up but seeing the old Catapult did make me do a low whistle.
FD really knows how to doll up a nice design, I miss the ol' girl and now I'm glad it will be in the game.

That's a smexy lookin' 'pult. Good job revising the appearance of one of the most iconic heavies in the game. I hope we get to see the Kuritapult variant soon. Or Butterbee (shudder).

I've been experimenting with the 'pult, so far I've found a variant that strips the base weapons load for 2 large lasers, 2 SRM6, 30 rounds, an extra heat sink, and a slight up-armoring works pretty well. I've considered dumping one of the larges for 2 mediums, 2 heat sinks, and more up-armoring; but perhaps that'd make it too close to the Grasshopper or Guillotine.

There is cuddling and there is cuddling...

Looks great, true to the origional design yet new at the same time, keep up the good work. :)

To those who keep complaining for more just be lucky they are showing us anything before the game has even gone into beta testing, relax and i'm sure they will release more goodies.

They haven't given us the full sized version yet. :)

Also, they haven't given us uncropped, non-wavy versions of the faction insignia either. HINT! :)

I would argue that their latest surprise reveal is the most minimal so far as compared to the rest so yeah, I don't really feel like I'm asking a bit too much if we could see a couple more sketches. I really didn't intend to sound like your typical "entitlement gamer" however I really can't help but feel a little underwhelmed. Especially when compared to the Dragon reveal which was far more generous, this one really feels like the average InnerSphere news, albeit with a longer essay.

Perhaps its the holiday season and the upcoming new year so perhaps these factors kinda exacerbate the feeling lol damn, I really didn't intend to sound bitter but i'm a mw fan thirsting for a new game after almost a decade :)
